Hailing from Michigan’s rugged Upper Peninsula, American rock band Charmer will release their third album, and first in five years,
Downpour, this spring. It's a bold reintroduction to a band that refuses to be boxed in; and has a sound as expansive as their hometown winters. Fusing the melodic intensity of bands like Alkaline Trio, Boxcar Racer, and the late 90s Long Island punk scene with the dreamy, melancholic vibes of The Cranberries and The Cure, Charmer delivers a uniquely nostalgic and refreshing collection that defies easy categorisation.Β 

Themes of growth, grief, and reflection abound, Downpour draws its thematic influence from personal losses, family dynamics, and life in the isolated UP. Vocalist/guitarist David Daignault reflects on monumental life shifts amidst a bittersweet pursuit of creativity, and dives deep into trauma and healing in the wake of new parenthood. There’s a definitive transition from their coming-of-age cult classics Ivy (2020) and Charmer (2018) to the introspection foundΒ  throughout Downpour, making it a deeply real record for anyone facing the complexities ofΒ  adulthood.Β 

Downpour offers longtime Charmer fans a familiar sound while opening the door to an entirely new audience. Joined by guitarist Neil Berg, bassist Zack Alworden, and drummer Nick Erickson, Daignault’s soul-stirring vocal performance leads the band across a record that combines passion and precision. Across its eleven tracks, Downpour captures both the intensity of their past and the bittersweet blank page ahead.Β 

Throughout, Downpour is a deeply human record about searching for meaning in life’s complexities. And there’s really no guarantee that Charmer will ever make another quite like it -– or at all. Regardless, it’s an album that makes an immediate and lasting impact, offering a powerful glimpse into who they are now and the unique environment that raised them.
